You tell yourself "I just can't do this anymore" and somehow, you push through the pain and the hurt and you carry on, but only living as an empty shell of who you once were. If it seems like in your relationship, you never talk, and the times you do talk, turn into fights; there is hope. If you or a someone you care about struggles with the ups and downs of substances use; there is hope. If you have been given news of a terminal or life-debilitating illness that has literally taken the breath from your lungs; there is hope. I would be honored if you allowed me to help you find that hope.

We are broken within relationships, and it's in relationships that we can also heal. If you want to feel happier in your marriage or with your partner but feel stuck fighting and disconnected, I invite you to come explore a new way to love yourself and each other. We all yearn to be seen, heard and understood. This often manifests itself in defensiveness and arguing with the people we care about most. My goal is to gently guide you and your partner to more friendship, empathy and love so you can experience the joy of deep connection. I work with couples and individuals. I look forward to hearing from you!

Waitlist for new clients
In therapy, I use an assimilative-integrative approach to best meet the unique needs of my clients. My approach emphasizes a client-centered, but systemic orientation. I use evidence-based treatments that are informed by cognitive-behavioral, developmental, and relational/attachment theories. I work to build open and warm relationships with my clients and I honor the ways in which one's background and culture inform our work. Therapy is a collaborative process meant to foster positive change as my clients and families develop more compassion for themselves and one another.

Based on my broad experience in higher education, Federal EAP's and law enforcement/national security settings, I have observed that many people are "too well-adapted for their own good". Caretaking others, performing above expectations, and appearing just fine while their physical or emotional health is being eroded by chronic stress or unhealthy coping mechanisms. In an initial phone consultation, I try to help prospective clients define and clarify their reasons for seeking help. I then provide recommendations regarding counseling, psychotherapy, or other support or treatment options in the person's best interest.

Deciding it’s time to come to therapy can feel overwhelming & finding the "right fit" can feel like decision overload. I offer warmth, compassion, and non-judgmental kindness from the first consultation call to the moment you decide you're ready for our time together to end. My practice focuses on supporting teens & adults in cultivating resilience, peace, joy & connection in a busy world. I offer a space to get curious about understanding & addressing anxiety, depression, and trauma. Interrupting cycles of using perfectionism, overwork, disordered eating or substances to hide, numb or cope is not something you need to do alone.

You feel trapped in a toxic relationship, and it's slowly sucking the life out of you. You're confused, anxious, depressed and numb, all at the same time. You just want things to be good again. Why does he do this? You love him, and you hate him. You feel a deep sense of shame about how bad things have gotten, and now you're desperate for some kind of resolution because you don't know how much more you can take. You are strong, or you used to be, so how did you end up here? You just want to get back to who you were before the narcissist and the nightmares.

In a way, therapy is very simple. We just sit and talk to each other. On another level, it’s not simple at all. We work together to figure out why you are getting stuck and how to get you un-stuck—a process that takes time and care. On a deeper level still, I accompany you—walk beside you—come what may. Sometimes just having someone be alongside you as you go through life, with no particular goal of changing you, can transform things the most. I’ve worked with people from all different walks of life—folks who are barely making ends meet; folks with big houses; transgender women; nonbinary folks; the length of the political spectrum.

Congratulations on taking the first step toward a major life change! The decision to begin counseling is an immense gesture of self love and courage. Finding the right fit is so important to the therapeutic process. Whatever brings you here - the loss of a loved one, a major life transition, troubling relationship patterns, chronic illness or pain, or feeling stuck and confused about the future - will be explored with openness, curiosity, and acceptance. Things can feel easier, when explored without shame or judgment. I believe that we all have the innate ability to heal with the right connection and understanding.
